A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Capitalism is always in danger of inspiring men to be more concerned about making a living than making a life. We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles, rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to humanity-thus capitalism can lead to a practical materialism that is as pernicious as the materialism taught by communism.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
When I am angry I can write, pray, and preach well, for then my whole temperament is quickened, my understanding sharpened, and all mundane vexations and temptations depart.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
No individual or nation can stand out boasting of being independent. We are interdependent.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the way our world is made.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
As long as diseases are rampant and millions of people in this world cannot expect to live more than twenty-eight or thirty years, I can never be totally healthy even if I just got a good checkup at Mayo Clinic.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
As long as there is poverty in the world I can never be rich, even if I have a billion dollars.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
We must rapidly begin the shift from a ‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be… The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
But whatever my doubts, however heavy the burden, I feel that I must accept the task of helping to make this nation and this world a better place to live in – for all men, black and white alike.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
I subject myself to self-purification and to endless self-analysis; I question and soul-search constantly into myself to be as certain as I can that I am fulfilling the true meaning of my work, that I am maintaining my sense of purpose, that I am holding fast to my ideals, that I am guiding my people in the right direction.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one’s soul.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation — either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
A dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
A dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man’s skin determines the content of his character;
Quote by -Martin Luther King
A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few;
Quote by -Martin Luther King
This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream – a dream yet unfulfilled.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now
Quote by -Martin Luther King
I was not afraid of the words of the violent, but of the silence of the honest.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.
